Descriptions

Foreman before 1.9.0 allows remote authenticated users with the edit_users permission to edit administrator users and change their passwords via unspecified vectors.

Vulnerabilidad en Foreman en versiones anteriores a 1.9.0, permite a usuarios remotos autenticados con el permiso edit_users editar a usuarios administradores y cambiar sus contraseñas a través de vectores no especificados.
